Block Island, Rhode Island Ghost Sightings

(The account below has several striking similarities to the story submitted by Molly)My family made a trip to Block Island around 1970. My two older brothers split off one night for a walkabout. The next day I recall no one was talking as something very disturbing had happened to them on their outing. When I asked my older brother to recount the story in 1986 he said to look at his arm. When I did all the hair was standing on end as the recalling of this memory was terrifying to him. (He is a big guy and played college football, so be assured this was very real to him. ) He said he and my other brother had heard a tale of a local farmhouse (not sure if it was the same one in the above story)

where someone had died (possible hanging?) Being in their late teens they thought they could deal with it and have a tale to tell.

They took off for the farmhouse, but before arriving a stranger appeared out of nowhere, looked at them, and out of the blue said ''I know what you two are up to and where you are going and don't go up there!'' Unfortunately

this made them want to go even more. He said they approached the farmhouse (night) and were looking down largely at the path in front of them, so as not to stumble in the minimal light (unfortunate again. ) When they got to the front door/landing it was only then that they looked up. At this point when he said there was a malevolent force in the doorway that absolutely did not want them there and blasted them back and off their feet - with a hateful ''GET OUT!'' They took off and never looked back.

I asked my brother to tell retell the experience in 2008 by the fireside, so my teenage daughters could hear it firsthand, but he would not do so, as it disturbed him.
